Stacey Abrams: "Abortion is an economic issue. It's been reduced to this idea of a culture war, but for women in Georgia, this is very much a question of whether they're going to end up in poverty in the next five years." on.msnbc.com/3gvjSvG

Standing with my brothers and sisters, and community--hoping these leaders will resign--to try to demonstrate a modicum of leadership--the anti-blackness is deplorable and hate against the Oaxacan community paired with casual bigotry cannot stand. youtube.com/watch?app=desk

Our city is hurting. We deserve to heal. We deserve to rebuild. But neither is possible without accountability. I’m waiting for resignations.
